Sacred quotes from Inflamed (Marya & Patel, 2021) to illustrate our interconnection.

“In 2012 a 1/4 of all human deaths were traceable to environmental factors in the air water and soil” (Marya & Patel, 2021, 14:00).

“The study of ecology is becoming indispensable to the study of medicine because humans are not just a single animal but a multitude. An ecology of beings living on us in us and around us” (Marya & Patel, 2021, 47:48).

“For Indigenous communities in North America, the act of connecting young people back to their ancestral lands is cutting suicide rates without the use of western medicine or pharmaceuticals. Having a sense of belonging improves health outcomes. Cultural continuity and dignity are in themselves determinants of health” (Marya & Patel, 2021, 58:05).

Sincerely,

Loving Awareness of Feelings and Thoughts
